I am trying to install Monodevelop IDE.
I have tried installing from repo as well as trying to install with with the deb package. I followed the instructions for Debian on MonoDevelop’s download page for their IDE.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

I’m running Linux host 5.7.0-2parrot2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.7.10-1parrot2 (2020-07-31) x86_64 GNU/Linux Mate Edition.
I’ve tried updating, upgrading, fixing broken packages. Nothing results in a successful installation of the monodevelop package.
Also does v2.12.45 of libglade2.0-cil even exist?
Has anyone had any luck with installing this on Parrot OS? I see it’s a common issue online and the general solution is to install a fresh copy of Debian or Ubuntu and go from there. But I love Parrot OS and I have finally settled down with it, except for this… I also would much rather not run a VM just for MonoDevelop.
